Baked Avocado Egg Recipe

I love a good breakfast, but when you’ve got several mouths to feed – including your own – cooking it can feel like a total chore. Because of this, I need a solid go-to breakfast option that doesn’t disrupt my important morning ritual and gives my body all of the nutrition it needs to get through my day. That’s why I love this simple recipe that meets all of my body’s needs, tastes great, and takes no time at all to prepare.

 

Baked Avocado Eggs are a staple of Paleo cooking that provides everything you need in a breakfast. All you do is slice an avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and crack and egg in the cavity of each slice before throwing it in the oven. That’s it!

 

Both avocados and eggs have plenty of healthy fat to fill you up in the morning, and eggs are an excellent source of protein, the nutrient you need most after a night of rest. For an extra protein boost, I love sprinkling my avocado egg with Green Dream Savory Seasoning, which includes nutritional yeast and Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend. Nutritional yeast is a fantastic and delicious source of natural protein, B vitamins, and crucial trace minerals like zinc and manganese, which is why I included it in the Savory Seasoning.

 

I also toss a few hemp seeds on the avocado when it comes of the oven. Hemp seeds are another awesome source of protein and healthy fats, with the extra benefits of minerals like potassium, iron, zinc, and calcium. They add a really nice nutty flavor to the avocado egg and have this chewy texture similar to chia or flax seeds.

 

Prepping this for the oven can take less than 1 minute and only needs about 15-20 minutes in the oven, depending on how you like the texture of your egg. That’s a perfect amount of time to do a short workout, meditate, put on your make up, or get your kiddos ready for school. Try it out for yourself and feel free to experiment with your favorite toppings!

Gather This:

2 medium eggs

1 ripe avocado

½ tsp Green Dream Savory Seasoning

Hemp seeds


Do This:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice avocado lengthwise and remove pit. Scoop out about 1 tbsp of avocado to create more room for the egg. Place avocado on a baking sheet flesh-side up (if the avocado tilts sideways, make a little stand out of aluminum foil to prop it up). Crack one egg into the cavity of each avocado half. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and season with Green Dream Savory Seasoning and hemp seeds. Let cool and enjoy!

    Mama Hack: Superfood Sheet Pan Pancakes

    Sheet Pan Superfood Pancakes

    Busy mornings made easier with superfood sheet pan pancakes! They're so easy to make and you can customize them however you'd like.

    They are a DREAM for mamas like me. Mornings around here are wild and chaotic so I’ll take any excuse to simplify. Sometimes I purchase frozen waffles or pancakes so this not only makes it healthier, but less expensive and more nutritious. All three of my kiddos love these pancakes.

    We always buy a giant bag of gluten-free pancake mix, but any pancake mixes would work. I doubled the recipe on the bag but this is the recipe I used, below. You can easily just follow the recipe on the bag, double it, and add Green Dream for extra plant-based protein and all the superfood energy!

    The texture turns out so thick & fluffy and it's legit like cake for breakfast! Add raw butter, superfood honey, and whipped cream!

    Vegan & Gluten-Free Lemon Bars

    Superfood Lemon Bars

    If you live for zest, you’ll LOVE these dreamy lemon bars. Created with cashews, almonds, oats, coconut, honey, and a whole lotta lemon, this vegan & gluten-free recipe adapted from The Minimalist Baker is a delight to both prepare and eat!  

    Not only are these treats pretty on the plate, they’re also packed with vitamin C, which is a tried-and-true free radical neutralizerthanks to all those lemons and our Philosophie Berry Bee Honey! (You don’t want any pesky radicals hanging around in your body since they can damage blood vessels and alter cholesterol to make it more susceptible to building up in your artery walls.)

    The cashews and almonds add some lovely nuttiness and also make the bar quite filling (so they can double as a guilt-free, dessert-like breakfast bar), while the coconut contributes a luscious velvety texture, along with heart-healthy fats.

    Since these bars do require some time for cashew soaking, baking, cooling (and potentially dehydrating), definitely save this recipe for a day when you can queue up a classic Spotify playlist, light your favorite soy candle, and bliss out in the kitchen with your loved ones.

    Vegan Lemon Bars

    Gather This:

    FOR THE FILLING

    1 cup raw cashews
    1 cup coconut cream (the hardened portion at the top of full fat coconut milk)
    2 tbsp arrowroot or cornstarch (optional to thicken)
    ½ cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
    1 heaping tbsp lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
    Pinch sea salt
    1/4 cup Berry Bee Honey, plus more to taste (maple syrup or coconut nectar would be good too!)
    2 tbsp organic powdered sugar, for topping (optional)
    dehydrated lemon slices (optional)

      FOR THE CRUST

      1 cup gluten-free oats
      1 cup almonds or almond meal
      1/4 teaspoon sea salt
      2 tbsp coconut sugar or Berry Bee Honey
      4-5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
        Lemon Juice for Lemon Bars

        Do This:

        Add raw cashews to a mixing bowl and cover with boiling hot water. Let rest for 1 hour uncovered, then drain thoroughly. If you have more time, you can also soak overnight in cool filtered water.

        In the meantime, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8”x8” inch baking dish with parchment paper.

        Add oats, almonds, and sea salt to a high-speed blender and mix on high until you have a fine meal.

        Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and add Berry Bee Honey and melted coconut oil, starting with 4 tablespoons and adding more coconut oil, if it's too dry. Stir with a spoon to combine until a loose dough is formed. You should be able to squeeze the mixture between two fingers and form a dough instead of it crumbling. If it’s too dry, add a bit more melted coconut oil.

        Vegan & Gluten Free Lemon Bars

        Transfer mixture to parchment-lined baking sheet and spread evenly. Then place parchment paper on top and use a flat-bottomed object, such as a drinking glass, to press down firmly until it’s evenly distributed and well-packed.

        Bake for 15 minutes, then increase heat to 375 degrees and bake for 5-8 minutes more, or until the edges are golden brown and there is some browning on the surface. Remove from oven to cool slightly, then reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.

        Once the cashews are soaked and drained, add to a high speed blender with the coconut cream, arrowroot starch, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and Berry Bee Honey. Mix on high until very creamy and smooth.

        Taste and adjust flavor as needed. I added a bit more lemon zest! It should be very lemony, and not overly sweet.

        Lemon Bars

        Pour filling over the pre-baked crust and spread into an even layer. Tap on counter to remove any air bubbles.

        Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges look slightly dry and the center appears “giggly” but not liquidy.

        Let rest for 10 minutes, then transfer to refrigerator to let cool completely (uncovered)at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

        To serve, slice and sift with powdered sugar (optional). Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, up to 4 days (though it’s best within the first 2 days!). Add dehydrated lemons when ready to serve.
